Some drivers in Kosciusko County will pay a little more in registration fees next year.

The County Council has unanimously approved a wheel tax increase designed to help maintain the roads in the county.

The new tax will impact most vehicles on the road. Passenger vehicles under 1,100 pounds will cost $35 to register, an increase of $10. Semis and other heavier vehicles will increase from $40 to $60.

The tax increase goes into effect January 1.
